The Victorinox Companion 74 basically is the same knife as modern Executive but with several small discrepancies:

It (probably) has an open rivets

Scissors (probably) has one-leaf spring

Nail-file with old pattern

Tweezers has metallic heading (optional)

There are no key-ring (this is a main difference!)

After some investigation of old Victorinox catalogs I’ve discovered, that Companion 74 changed own name to the Executive (and got keyring and hidden rivets) approximatelly at the same time as Companion 58 model was released.

Can you imagine, which name Companion 58 had before this release? The answer is: Executive. No comments. 🙂
